I can't really explain it. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized I can't remember the last time I saw a mosquito.
It's Calgary, Canada. The climate is fairly arid, but there are definitely mosquitos in the area. I just haven't seen one in a long time, despite being outside for at least a couple of hours every day.
I suspect if I walked along the river more I'd see some though.
I really only know of this word because of Scott Manley
They exist here. I just live inner city and never see them.
I can't actually remember the last time I even saw a mosquito.
It's the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren't strong enough to be a deterrent.
It's against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.
They definitely weren't dissing Doom. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
Most people have only vague memories before they're 5 or 6, so that's not so uncommon. I, an elder millennial, have lots of memories from before I was 6, but only because I have a big life event that happened when I was 6 that marked a "before time" and "after time" allowing me to easily place memories before or after the age of 6. All of my memories from the "before time" are vague and hard to place at specific ages except for a specific few that I can place due to houses I lived in at the time and what my parents told me.
I wouldn't say I wasn't self-aware in the "before time" but I definitely don't remember it as well as what came in the "after time". I'm sure that is what the above poster is referring to.
And on Monday, June 8, a steer wrestler from Idaho named Stetson Jorgensen charged out of the gate on a horse, chasing after a terrified young cow. He jumped forcefully on the animal, grabbed him by the horns, and snapped his neck to the ground with his bare hands. The young cow lay stiff and motionless, and died shortly after.
Given the timing, I assume they are talking about this happening at the Calgary Stampede this past Monday.
Note: June 8 is a typo. Monday was July 8th.
The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.
If you're the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.
What's worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn't do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.
